TWR 1 won't hover?
"TWR of exactly one will not make the rocket hover in place"
Will not? I think you mean, it _will_.
But I haven't tested this. So maybe somebody can confirm it for me?— Preceding unsigned comment added by TerryDactyl (talk • contribs) 18:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yes that is the idea behind the TWR. If the thrust and weight are exactly the same their ratio is 1 and with both being exactly the same the net force is 0 (for the TWR only the thrust part pointing towards the surface is counted). — xZise [talk] 05:43, 28 February 2015 (CST)
